Pros

Bi-weekly pay Some amazing people It’s in Cannabis People recognize the company name

Cons

*No real love for the industry or the plant or the culture. In fact, the CEO can’t stand it *Plenty of all company meetings with an admittedly hungover CEO, super classy *Extremely unprofessional and down right mean way of conducting layoffs just a couple of weeks after a pointless company retreat, think Hunger Games *Leadership Team = Sales Team = CEO’s besties and or family = Echo chamber of dumb ideas you have no choice but to follow (ex. Manifest revenue by writing it down on notecards and saying it out loud multiple time during the day…actual advice when asked how to improve performance )

Pros

Joining Vangst through an acquisition last year has been one of the most exciting and rewarding transitions of my career. From the start, the integration process was smooth, supportive, and intentional. Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible growth — not just in revenue and client base, but in our internal development as a team. We've expanded into new markets, launched new service offerings, and built out a stronger infrastructure that allows us to serve our partners and candidates more effectively than ever before. The pace of growth has been fast, but with it has come so much opportunity. The best part of working here, without question, is the people. This team is made up of passionate, driven, and genuinely kind individuals who care deeply about their work and about each other. There’s a strong sense of purpose and collaboration that makes every challenge feel worth it — and every win feel like a team effort.

Cons

It’s that with so much opportunity, it’s hard to say no! The energy here is contagious, and it’s easy to find yourself raising your hand for more — but that’s also what makes it such an exciting place to grow.

Pros

Paychecks were on time that’s it.

Cons

I had a very negative experience with Vangst Staffing under the management of Dan Hutchinson. The work environment is plagued by favoritism and discriminatory practices, and if you don’t “suck up” to certain supervisors, you risk being ostracized. On top of that, I was underpaid for my work. When I reported the issue, I was finally paid what I was owed—but shortly after, I was terminated with no reason at all. This shows a clear lack of fairness, integrity, and accountability. I would strongly caution anyone considering working with Vangst to be aware of these issues.
